3. Getting started: preparing the machines to be connected to the ES system

The ES can be connected to compressors and dryers equipped with an Elektronikon generation 4 and 5.

ES can control the compressors. In order to enable ES to take control, set the Elektronikon to LAN control and program anindividual node address (consult the relevant instruction book of the machine).

NOTE: It is not necessary to stop machines in order to integrate them into ES control.

NOTE: Keep the ES door closed during ES operation.

4. Menu and navigation

On top left of each screen, a navigation dock is displayed.

In standard position it shows the navigation to the current screen.

When clicking it, it opens up and the user can navigate to any other screen.

NOTE: In addition to the navigation menu, most parts of each screen are shortcuts to related screens (e.g. when clicking a compressor inthe air net screen, one navigates to the device screen of that compressor). The navigation menu always shows the navigation tothe current screen, no matter whether it was obtained by using the menu or a shortcut.

6. Main screen

When ES controls multiple air nets (up to 3), the main screen gives an overview of all most important values of all air nets: pressure graphs with air net pressures and pressure settings,

ES savings,

several measured and calculated data points.

The measured and calculated data point s to be shown are selected at commissioning time.

The ES saving s are the savings ES has realized compared to if the ES would not be controlling (all machines in localcontrol). The savings displayed on the main screen are the savings realized over all air nets combined. The savings panelcan be removed from this screen during commissioning.

If the ES controls only one air net, this screen is missing and the air net screen becomes the main entry of the user interface.

7. Air net screens

For each air net, the ES has a dedicated air net screen showing:

the pressure graph indicating the pressure, the pressure settings and the selected ES optimization profile,

the ES savings for the air net compared to if the ES would not be controlling that air net (all machines in localcontrol). The savings panel can be removed from this screen during commissioning,

some measured and calculated data points, to be selected at commissioning time,

the used capacity bar indicating the used capacity of the air net compared to the total available capacity for that airnet (sum of all available compressors),

the machines connected to the air net.

When a machine becomes unavailable to an air net because of valve settings, the machine is greyed out on the userinterface. All controls are still available, but only from the air net screen to which the machine belongs at this time.

For each compressor following information is shown:

the name,

the machine type,

the integration status icon (integrated/isolated),

the actual machine status (loaded, unloaded, stopped, not ready to start, not available, unkown).

During pressure regulation in the pressure band, one compressor will be actively controlling the pressure while the othersare fixed in an operating point chosen by ES.

The regulating compressor is indicated by an icon:

The compressor is running in PI control.

or

The compressor is running in Bang Bang control (unload-load cyclus).

During transitions (outband, change of running machines), none of the compressors has this icon since ES is requesting the

machines to run at a certain operating point in order to return in band or execute the switch in a controlled way.

The compressors also have a capacity bar indicating how much air the machine delivers compared to its maximum. Turbocompressors have 2 additional bars indicating IGV and BOV positions.

If an error or warning is valid for a machine, an icon appears over the machine icon:

A question mark: in case the warning is ES related, for instance when there is no communication betweenES and the machine, or when the machine does not react as expected.

An exclamation mark: in case the warning is machine related, for instance when one of the internal machine

sensors has reached a warning level.

A service key: in case the service interval of the machine is expired.

A stop sign: in case the machine is in shutdown, for instance when the emergency stop is pressed.

NOTE: More detailed information on errors or warnings is available in the status bar on top.

The integration status icon indicates whether the ES is controlling the machine:

The machine is isolated .

The machine is at this time not controlled by ES, but by its local controller to its local settings based on thelocal pressure transmitter.

Pressing the button will integrate the machine and the icon changes to .

This can be done by any user with the required permissions.

The machine is integrated .

ES is controlling the machine based on the ES settings and ES pressure transmitters.

Pressing the button will isolate the machine and the icon changes to .

This can be done by any user with the required permissions.

The machine is isolated and can not be integrated (e.g. the Elektronikon regulator is not set to LAN control,

air net is in local control or no valid license to integrate the machine).

8. Measurement point screens

For any measured or calculated data point, a graph is available.

The data is stored up to one month ago.The graph time frame can be selected.

9. Savings screen

The ES continuously simulates the complete compressed air installation with machines running in local control.

Using the simulated data, the savings per air net and of the complete installation are calculated and displayed on the air netscreens and main screen.

The savings screen gives more detailed information on where these savings are originating from.
